How it works

Three steps. We do the heavy lifting.

01

We install

We deliver and set up the machine in a spot you choose. No purchase, no setup fee, no risk.

02

We run it

We keep it stocked, handle the cashless payments, and take care of every customer question. Completely hands-off for you.

03

We keep it fresh

New releases, restocks, repairs, and support — all on us. It always looks sharp and never sits empty.

Why host with RC Vending

All upside. No headache.

Trading cards have a loyal, growing following. A machine gives your regulars a reason to linger — and new faces a reason to walk in.

Zero cost

Nothing to buy, nothing to maintain, nothing to manage. We cover the machine, the product, and every bit of the labor.

Fully cashless

Card, tap, Apple Pay, Google Pay. No cash to handle, no cash sitting in your venue.

Small footprint

A compact, sharp machine that fits neatly into your space — about the size of an ice cooler.

More foot traffic

Collectors return for new releases, bringing repeat visits — and they rarely leave with just cards.

A modern amenity

A fun, eye-catching draw that fits your vibe. It runs itself — you just enjoy the extra buzz.

One point of contact

You get a direct line to the people who actually run the program — not a ticket queue. Single or multi-location, same number.

The machine

Modern, cashless, and stocked with the good stuff.

  • Genuine, sealed trading cards — curated for your location
  • Big, bright touchscreen that guides the whole purchase
  • Tap-to-pay everything: cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay
  • Live sales monitoring keeps it stocked, never sitting empty
  • Fast, local support when anything needs attention

For multi-location operators

Built to roll out venue by venue.

If you manage more than one location, the program is the same — it just scales. Start with a pilot, review the numbers, expand where it works.

Start with a pilot

Three to five venues, sixty days, nothing to buy and nothing to sign beyond the placement agreement. You review real sales before anyone talks about expanding.

Insured, with you named

We carry general liability and provide a certificate of insurance naming your company as additional insured before the first machine ships.

No IT, no wiring, no cash

Each unit is a cashless floor tower on cellular. Nothing touches your network. Your staff never handles product, money, or service calls.

Reporting per venue

Every machine reports its own sales. You see per-location numbers monthly, verifiable against the machine's own reports.

We own the capital

We buy, wrap, install, stock, insure and service every unit. There is no equipment cost, no inventory risk and no labor on your side.

One account team

Headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, placing nationwide. One point of contact for the whole account, whether it is three venues or three hundred.

FAQ

Good questions, straight answers.

What does it cost me?

Nothing. No purchase, no rental fee, no maintenance cost. We provide the machine, the product, and all the labor. You provide a bit of floor space and an outlet.

What's in it for my venue?

A fun, modern amenity at zero cost and zero effort, plus the extra foot traffic collectors bring.

Do I have to manage or restock it?

No. We handle stocking, restocking, repairs, payments, and customer refunds. Your only job is giving it a spot to live.

How much space does it need?

Very little. The machine has a compact footprint and just needs a visible spot near a standard power outlet.

Is the product brand-safe and family-friendly?

Yes. The machine vends sealed, all-ages trading card packs — a positive, collectible amenity. There's no cash handling, no gambling mechanics, and nothing inappropriate for a family environment.

What if it breaks or a customer has an issue?

Machines are remotely monitored and we respond fast — we handle refunds and maintain the hardware so it's never your problem.

What if it doesn't work out?

Hosting is month-to-month. If it's not a fit, we remove the machine. No strings.
